KIDS ARE PEOPLE TOO LLC

What KIDS ARE PEOPLE TOO LLC does

Kids Are People Too, LLC is a privately held, single-location pediatric outpatient therapy practice headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, founded in 2000 by Karen Adams, MSPT, IBCLC. The practice delivers physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, and IBCLC-certified lactation support to children from infancy through adolescence diagnosed with developmental and congenital conditions including Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, ADHD, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, and other disabilities. Services are delivered through play-based, holistic therapeutic modalities such as Therapeutic Listening, Interactive Metronome, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Sensory Modulation, vestibular activities, and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, supported by a family-friendly clinic environment with therapeutic rooms and an outdoor play area.

The practice operates a direct-to-consumer professional services model, generating revenue by billing insurance carriers — including Alaska Medicaid, BC/BS, Tricare, Aetna, and Meritain — and accepting private-pay patients. Patient acquisition is driven by physician and specialist referrals, insurance network participation, organic search, and community word-of-mouth rather than paid marketing. The clinical team consists of six staff: owner Karen Adams (MSPT, IBCLC), office manager Gabbie, admin assistant Hannah Kinney (OTD/OTRL), speech-language pathologist Michael Oliveira (MS CCC-SLP, CAS), occupational therapy assistant Caroline McCabe (COTA), and craniosacral therapist Michelle Aitken (CMT, CST). Treatment plans are customized per child with team input from parents, physicians, and specialists, and flexible scheduling is offered to accommodate family routines.

Kids Are People Too is a bootstrapped, founder-owned LLC with no institutional investors, parent company, or external funding disclosed. The business recently relocated to a larger facility at 1525 Boniface Parkway, Anchorage, AK 99504, and operates with standard weekday clinic hours (08:00–17:00). There are no published patents, awards, regulatory actions, acquisitions, or technology platform disclosures in the available record, and the company's competitive position is anchored on local market tenure, the founder's clinical and personal credentials, and established referral relationships rather than proprietary technology or scale economics.
